I don't see why not... they have only gotten bigger since '02... I'm more surprised they haven't headlined before...

I think this italian writer (referred to here) has, either through over-enthusiasm, or frustration at all my non-committal answers, mistranslated me a little....in fact we haven't quite finished the album - in the studio at the moment - nor have we yet considered any touring. The plan is to have no plan until the record is finished....hope that's a little clearer!

Probably best to expect no Radiohead at this point unless a miracle happens, or unless they've been signed on for a different year. That being said, I expect Coldplay to at least have been approached at this point. They are doing some small shows in London to test out the new album.

Please keep in mind, TCHY has the board record for not only wrongly guessing what acts will play at Coachella, but also stating it as fact.

Ever heard of scooper?

Re: Coachella 2011: Rumors, Headliners, rumored Confirmations

With all the Daft Punk rumors abound, I have to ask. Is the main speculation behind this simply because they did the Tron Legacy score?

I mean, how many artists have done a score or a soundtrack and then toured based off of it? The only ones I can think of off-hand are completely different scenarios (Swell Season, Christopher Guest & co doing the Spinal Tap & Mighty Wind tours, and an O Brother Where Out There tour with T-Bone Burnett). Really just seems a bit of a weak connection.

(I could also be missing some sort of ZOH MAH GAH factor that's floating out there which makes the rumor have more speculation, but it really just sounds like crazy wishful thinking)
